1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Addition is a Piece of Cake!

How many ways can you make the number 8!? In honor of the 8 days of chanukah, Gan
Aleph put their addition skills to the test! We spent the week learning about all of the numbers from 0 through 8. We created different math sentences each day to represent the number we wer elearning. We sat as a group and experimented with 8 candles. The children worked together to take 1 candle and figure out how many more candles they need to make the number 8. We used numbers and math signs to help us create different math sentences to go with our candle equations. The children each created their own "How Many Ways Can You Make 8!?" book to reinforce these concepts.
